So...Franklin should have gotten more snaps all year...But why burn his redshirt against Duke?

[skeeter]

I'm not in the "redshirt everyone" crowd...CFB isn't the same as it was 10 years ago. I'd LIKE to see O-line and kids that def need weight redshirt, kids that you take on measurable but are really raw as players...Sure. But for the most part I'm all for playing freshmen

That being said. Why was Franklin's redshirt burned against Duke. I mean the kid looks better than Brown to me...And I was calling for some Franklin snaps midseason. But he was sitting on 4 games heading into Duke...The worst ACC team I've seen in 4-5 years (Worse than '20 Case) At that point there was no need to use him! I do hope he had a choice in the matter pre-game, and I would like to think he did.

If you really have to ask, look no further than Danny Miaz.

Redshirts are irrelevant, the transfer portal has rendered them ineffective.

Play your guys or they leave, it’s really that simple.

 

[hiphopanimal]

Are you surprised that a talented player was not playing under Corch Diaz?

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

You think a Running Back, of all positions, who is worth a **** is staying in school for five seasons?

And if you do play them, but they don't perceive enough burn, they leave anyway.

I'd hate to be a coach in the portal world. Constant babysitting and re-recruiting.

You redshirt guys that need to develop or are injured and need to heal. Franklin was clearly our 2nd best back over brown. He should have played.

Yep one way or another he's not gonna be here 5 years.

This. The days of redshirt seniors or waiting 2 to 3 years to get playing time is over. The NFL will find you no matter where you play so there's not as much of an urgency to sit and wait at a big school.

Oh man. Everyone cries about playing the younger guys and now we're crying about not saving redshirts? CIS gonna CIS

He came into camp out of shape

Y’all like to complain about anything man lol. Don’t play em enough they transfer. If they’re any good they’re gone in 3 years. Redshirts are nearly irrelevant at this point

So the moment he finally got a non-Central Conn snap he was magically in shape?

Correct.

 

[BishopEli]

It would suck to run a business that requires you to keep your labor happy lest they leave for better benefits

Just saying that’s the reason why he was behind Brown

 

[AutoCANE]

I blame the long walk to the stadium. Totally threw Mandy off his game plan.

 

[CANEMC]

Di***.

That assumes your labor is as good as it thinks it is. That often is not the case: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...age-but-do-they-deliver-at-their-new-schools/
